Fun fact, The original design for Spaceship 2 was 6 passenger and two pilots. That number was reduced to 4 passenger when the vehicle design got heavier. The space for the two seats still exist on the first SS2

Great channel, man. The quality of the videos are great and you have a good narrating voice.

Branson got to go to space then he was done

Don't agree there is anythng inherently wrong with the V.G. 's use of pilots. The accident could easily have been avoided if basic, sensible design practices had been followed. In this case, simply "locking out" the feathering control, so that it was inoperative when the vehicle speed was too great, would have suffied.

I have worked for them and they have a number of very good engineers working on Delta. Additionally, they are working with highly competent subcontractors here in the DFW area.

People keep saying VG is dead, yet big companies are buying thousands of stock for cheap, they just built a new warehouse for plane building, they have enough money to build their new Delta fleet and theres over 800 people reserved in backlog to fly...

I was at the X-Prize Party with the Ansari Family (who put up the prize Money), Burt Rutan (who designed it), Paul Allen (who funded the construction), and Richard Branson who announced the certation of VirginGalactic on the morning of Flight-2 to c. The 2 flights required to win the X-Prize was flown by test pilot Mike Melvill with 2 boxes to simulate the weight of 2 passengers. William Shatner was not at the party but hit me (unintentionally) in his excitement watching the landing of Flight-2 with his camera bag. It would be sad if VirginGalactic is not revived.

All thanks to the genius of Burt Rutan

You are missing one tiny thing from "first I heard about it" era, back then Virgin Interactive and its music stores could have covered the Galactic and some more.

Branson is a self publicist and nothing more. Remember when he said he would rescue Concord. He just wants the headlines.

You're not the only ones who are still dreaming of spaceflight

I wish them the best in developing this new Delta spaceplane, but I realize the obstacles are huge and the odds are against them. There is only one other alternative for "relatively affordable" suborbital space tourism: Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle. That one is still flying passengers currently.

"Feathering" or fully stalling out the wing so it no longer achieves lift is used by free flight aeromodellers to get their models out of thermals. If it goes off too early, it can also cause an unscheduled disassembly.

10:00 That not only show human error can easily be fatal for this vehicle, but also how thin the margin of error is.

The funny thing is that they do not cross the Karman Line, the agreed upon limit of the atmosphere and the beginning of space, that is 100 km or 62 miles. Virgin Galactic only reaches 80 km or 49.6 miles, they never reach space by definition.

At the time of Apollo science pundits predicted we would be shuttling space tourists to and from the moon routinely by the year 2000.

The main issue is their system can’t scale to fly large rockets to orbit. Blue Origin absolutely can.

Im glad they're working on the rockets still
